I bought SOW Gettysberg from Matrix last year, installed it, downloaded the latest patch through the installer and installed that.

When I installed the game, I got what appeared to be a start meny, with several read bars that looked like they should have the names of scenarios or tutorials on them, but had nothing in the bar area. There was nothing around them that could be read.

i have Windows 8.1, and a new Digital Elipse gaming computer that can easily handle much bigger and graphics intensive games.

This game is absolutely useless to me in this state. Any help would be appreciated.

I just installed SOW Gettysburg, and have the same issue - red bars on opening page. I can't figure out how to access "compatibility mode." Where do I find the "installation directory"? When I right click on the game folder, and go to properties, compatibility is not a tab. Thanks!

I installed the 150 yr mega pack today. It was working fine until I installed the Fontenoy scenario from the Norbsoft website and then I had the same problem as that described above. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it didn't do any good. Help please!
